Your claim that searching with a Jewish word (I did not) somehow distorts the information is nothing short of provably absurd. Simply search google for the "origin of the word Klutz" https://www.google.com/search?q=the+...client=gws-wiz One cannot simply sweep away historical roots and etymology because they do not align with your own narrative. To dismiss such linguistic evidence as an attempt to promote racism is an insult to intelligence and reason.
Furthermore, to assert that "klutz" has miraculously shed its ethnic connections to become a "mainstream English word for clumsy" is a disingenuous oversimplification. The reality remains that its origins remain firmly tied to Yiddish and German, and to overlook this fact is to perpetuate ignorance and disrespect.
...
Let us not be fooled by your guise of cleverness, for the law stands vigilant, its watchful eye poised to uncover the seeds of hatred sown beneath the veil of your words. Like a puzzle unraveling, the truth shall emerge, revealing the venom concealed within your rhetoric.
So, if indeed you dare to persist in your attempts at subterfuge, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions. The courtroom shall be the stage where your charade meets its denouement, and there, before the judge, your veiled intentions will be laid bare.

Sid, may I say something without incurring your wrath? I've used the word "klutz" before and I had NO IDEA of its origins and history. I agree with Fred that klutz has entered the mainstream as a word for "clumsy oaf".
I think it's a bit unreasonable to ask posters here to search the history of every word they use. And I don't think any court of law is going to convict anyone of any -ism based on the use of a single mainstream word, regardless of that word's history. Why resort to these tactics? It does make you seem extreme, even if you don't think it should be the case.
On a separate topic, Sid, regarding all your arguments about record-setting temps and how they compare to temps in previous centuries ....
As valid as your arguments may be, which I don't contest, there is something more important to consider.
It is population density.
I think the current population density of the world has reached such a level that these temp extremes (both cold and hot) are causing unprecedented damage. And that is what we have to consider.
Of great note, various insurance companies in North America are starting to withdraw from the market in some weather-sensitive regions. State Farm, Allstate, and most recently Travelers and Farmers. They are losing billions on the damages being done to infrastructure, homes, businesses, crops.
This is perhaps the most critical aspect of what is going on. Because once no one can get insurance, all losses are put squarely on the entity that WOULD HAVE had an insurance policy but is now without one. And once that happens, all economic activity in the affected regions is in peril. Basically all normal economic activity in these regions will SCREECH TO A HALT.
I believe this is the coming tsunami that will ensure that in fact we WILL SEE drastic and unprecedented climate-based regulations. We are in for some very very extreme changes in the North American economy. And it is likely the same in Europe, in Asia.
It all comes down to money, Sid. Not historical weather data. Money!
Because of population density combined with what is going on with the climate (whether man-caused or not), I believe unprecedented changes are in store. You will be against them, as might many of us myself included, but it is coming regardless Money talks louder than anything else.
I still hold to my belief that as this all unfolds, a second U.S. civil war might be unavoidable. Not sure about Canada.
